Weight-Loss Is Only 140 Million Miles Away:

Most of the time it happens out of a very weird discovery or coincidence. -And this time is no different.

This diet-revelation started with the “Oh crap, we have to rescue Matt Damon again,”-level idea of actually sending people to Mars.

Love, Actually Is A Brain Chemical:
A lot of recent research has been focused on brain-building through nootropics/supplements and special meditation.

Both have shown some interesting and unexpected results, especially on improvement in quality of life.

As researchers of all kinds try to improve that life-experience from Gilgamesh, to R.W. Emerson, to Eckhart Tolle, new & old ideas get discovered & re-discovered.

So which is the best “supplement” for creativity-boostage?…

Among that list of “shamanistic” drugs like Salvia, Psilocybin, Ayahuasca and DMT, LSD has always been the good-old standby.

And a recent brain-imaging study by The Imperial College of London is showing us how…

-And one day, maybe Super-You. Or your super-grandkids.

So a short while ago, Chinese researchers pulled-off some of the first gene-modifications with that new technique from “BREAKTHROUGH”.

What they did with it is to create a new generation of dogs with a very uncommon trait: Super Muscles.
